George Coxon, Director at the Nano Foundation, has been quoted on how Blockchain is creating new models for change in this Forbes article about ‘How To Get Hired In Web3’

“Blockchain is about creating new models for change. Every day, blockchain innovators are discovering how to use the technology’s unique benefits to decentralize power, redefine value, forge new alliances and reshape the status quo.”

This DAG structure is also used in nano.  Nano is mentioned in this article as one of the currencies harnessing the unique structure of DAG to transcend the limitations of traditional blockchains.
